JOHOR BARU: The Higher Education Ministry has not received the alleged new guidelines regarding concerts on university campuses, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

The Higher Education Minister said that he would have preferred the guidelines to be prepared by the student councils themselves so that there would be no need for "such" guidelines.

“They (Higher Education Department) have not brought (the guidelines) to me so I have not seen it or approved anything.

“I have always talked about empowering the university students so I would like them to set the guidelines themselves; so I will wait for them to send it,” he said.

He said this when met by reporters after the community college advisors appointment letter handover ceremony at the Holiday Villa Hotel here, on Friday (Sept 1).

He said this when asked to comment on the alleged Guidelines for Entertainment Activities (Concerts) in Higher Education Institutions that were posted by Universiti Malaya Association of New Youth (Umany) on their Facebook page on Friday.

According to the document, concert attendees are required to follow a modest dress code, which prohibits the wearing of clothing featuring Illuminati, pro-LGBT, or pornographic symbols, as well as "punk" hairstyles.

Mosh pits are strictly prohibited and seating arrangements are required to be segregated for both male and female audiences.
